Let's talk about the game

[Ranching]

Eagles had extra time to prepare for this game

Sometimes thats a bad thing, to much time to think and get a big head. Let's hope that's the case this week..

 

[CF74]

We need to bring back the old end sweep play using RunDMC’s speed.. That might open things up for us.. Run a few screens both with the backs and with the receivers..

Send Dez on digs, slants, put him in motion, and put him in the slot. Only use Butler for the Go routes and sideline stuff.

Get T-Willy running horizontal routes as well...

 

[CF74]

And we need quicker pass plays, gotta get the ball out before the line collapses. Philly has a Top rated D-Line...

 

[ShortRound]

If we can't beat em I hope we take some players down

 

[Ranching]

If we can't beat em I hope we take some players down

I'm so disappointed in you for making that statement.

It's ok I'll be the bad guy

Break their legs!

[THEHEREAFTER]

Right now I'm a prisoner of the last game. Sure ATL is mega talented, underachieving and starving for a win. Oth, what a horrible display of execution and coaching. Hoping that we aren't as bad as last week and can clean up penalties/mental errors.

no matter what happens at this point, it is what it is. None of this will ever go right until Jerry and Stephen are both gone.

lol

 

[Cowboys_22]

I’ll watch the game until it becomes a runaway......Cowboys win by 35

 

[DandyDon52]

For me, I will probably just want the season to get over with, get onto the off season and hope the FO and coaches (hopefully an entire new coaching staff) finally get their heads out of their butts on FA's as well as not getting to cute in the draft. I

LOL jazz the only way that happens is if Jerry is made to Forfeit the team and we get a new owner otherwise none of that is happening.

 

[DandyDon52]

My main hope for this game is that the Eagles don't blow us out and the game is over in the second quarter.
If it is close and Dallas has a chance all the way to the end that's good.
if Dallas can somehow win the game that's great but I'm not really expecting them to win.
the eagles look really good but you never know in the NFL they could be beat by team like Dallas so it's possible just not probable. It is a shame we don't have Zeke and Tyrone that would have made it a more interesting game but it's just the way things worked out.

 

[Verdict]

The eagles offense likes to hurt you in the center of the field. Wentz has shown he prefers throwing the ball inside the hashes. This has turned former 1st round bust Nelson Aguolar (sp) into a legit threat from the slot. Zack Ertz can’t block worth a crap but can hurt you down the center of the field.
This puts great pressure on our LBers and Safeties. I’m concerned about this for sure.

I hate being negative but if I am the Eagles I like my chances playing a cowboys team missing Sean Lee, Zeke and T. Smith.

The eagles score a lot...a lot...
Can we find a way to keep up...

This might be one game where you could play a safety at linebacker for one game and get by with it. Or start out in nickel as your base defense.

 

[Verdict]

For sure, that's the best solution to have hope for enjoying the game. I intend to keep all my expectations of winning at arm's length until they show encouraging signs of doing so. That way, it would serve to minimize the frustration of not seeing results that might not fulfill my desires.

Since Philly has the NFL's #1 defense vs. the run, our ground game will most likely find it difficult to produce a ball control offense. Having a well-balanced attack will likely be mandatory for success. Dak will be required to be at his best and locate his receivers quickly to avoid pressure, sustain drives and score consistently enough to win.

Defensively, we'll have to make sure to contain their running game effectively on early downs and in probable passing situations, assert steady pressure on Wentz to keep him constantly out of his comfort zone.

I think Beasley could have another big game.

 

[Verdict]

Yes, and unless their coaches allow complacency, this should be a win for them.

Actually, I have us losing Sunday and winning a very ugly game on Thursday. This place will look for rays of sunshine and run favorable scenarios for the remainder of the season. We will see threads proclaiming this guy or that guy to be a “beast”. We might see threads saying ———— is a great RB and we can do without Zeke ( can we trade him to the Browns for their entire draft, etc?. ). Then, if we lay an egg against the Skins, doom and despair will rein for days and days. I have little faith in the coaches if we are less than 100% healthy.

It's a dismal view, but it's also hard to argue with. Lol. Facts are facts, right?

Good post,B-Flop.
You mentioned those turds have the #1 run defense,,, granted the fact they've only been ran at 116 times ( league's lowest) so far this season, for whatever reason that maybe( more points on the board perhaps,and their opponents s**t- can the ground attack game plans? Before it's fully implemented.)
Their team is definitely beatable, but we're all shot up full of holes & the lack of competent command guidance & effective leadership from the respective coordinators WAS on full display in that dismal buffoonish illustration last Sunday

( contrary to some of my esteemed fellows stance of " hurry the season up, so it can be over,,,already" I've waited too long in the
off-season to even ponder that)

We're more than likely gonna lose this game,,, just figured I'd lay that out there.

GO-TEAM

step away from the ledge, my friend.

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The Eagles aren't just beating teams folks they are blowing them out. This just sucks that we don't have those three guys. Would have been fun to see how we matchup.

If anyone needs to step up it's the freaking WR's on this team. None of them scare anyone.....

They come out the gate fast........lead the league in 1st quarter scoring
